I know I have been absent for a while, but this was just too important of a conversation to have not to make time for it. I hope you learn something, and not just anxiety inducing stuff, but something to be hopeful for. You'll likely recall our recent brush with seismic activity - that should be our wake up call. That's the message candidate and gu…

This conversation has been a long time coming for me, though y'all may not know that. My own personal journey through politics has not been entirely separate from my journey through personal spirituality. I've working towards helping get El Paso get more engaged, more involved, and ultimately to raise our collective consciousness and address our co…

This one wasn't anticipated but was not a ton of work to throw together so I figured, why not? The El Paso Young Democrats hosted a meeting with Rep Eddie Morales so members (and guests) would have the opportunity to learn about and ask questions about the upcoming constitutional amendments up for election. It's useful info, so I'm eager to share i…

Probably what will be the political scandal of 2023 for El Paso, the gas card fiasco, is in large part thanks to a humble citizen trying to hold his elected representative accountable. That citizen also happens a friend of mine, and our guest on today's episode. George Zavala has been a fierce advocate for people with disabilities, but his latest j…

My first interview back is one with a returning guest, El Paso County Democratic Chairman Michael Apodaca joins us to discuss a variety of topics from what went wrong with Prop K and how we pick up the pieces and move forward to how the next Texas Senate Democratic nominee can capitalize on Beto's work from 2018. I will warn you all, I don't have t…

I try and I try to stay away, and...the local politics...it just keeps bringing me back. In traditional EPB fashion, I had larger aspirations for my return episode but procrastinated and am opting for simpler and quicker so, this is what you get. I have some thoughts on Rep Hernandez's gas card scandal, namely where we should go from here, and set …
